Lighting Setups

luvsickphotoblog:

Learning studio photography has been about trial and error for me. Working with two Alien Bees and a small room can be maddening but it can also yield some great results once you know how to manipulate the space. I have included some samples of the setups and looks that work for my portrait sessions. Hope this is helpful.
